Siyamthanda ‘Siya’ Kolisi is at the forefront of South African rugby. The loose forward is the South African national team captain and also plays for the Sharks Super Rugby franchise.
Having represented his country in age-group World Cups, the man they call ‘The Bear’ burst onto the top-tier rugby scene in 2012 at just 20 years old, when he made his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers. A dynamic player, with a rare blend of speed and power, he's comfortable on both sides of the scrum and impressed many with a series of electric performances. He got injured late in that first season but bounced back in 2013, when, at the tender age of 21, he made his Springbok debut vs Scotland. He came off the bench early in the match and managed to put in a man-of-the-match performance. A sign of things to come.
